NFL.com makes bold prediction on Ravens’ non-QB MVP for 2023 season

The Baltimore Ravens have many players on their roster who are expected to step up in a big way. While quarterback Lamar Jackson is who has the biggest impact on the team’s success, there are others that have already or who have the potential to make big names for themselves.

When predicting each AFC team’s non-QB most valuable player for the 2023 season, Eric Edholm of NFL.com went bold, naming safety Kyle Hamilton as his choice for Baltimore. He explained that he thought hard about making his choice inside linebacker Roquan Smith, but is “fascinated” by the potential of Hamilton.

“I’m just fascinated by Hamilton, who was a bit miscast in a heavy nickel role last season but battled admirably and made tangible strides. ..The belief is that he’ll be able to showcase more of his playmaking ability in a more complete safety role this coming season — and don’t forget, he’s still only 22 years old. I might be a year or two ahead of myself here, but I think the 2022 first-round pick is capable of a five-sack, five-interception type of season…Facing strong QB competition in the AFC North, along with a few tough late-season games, the Ravens are going to need Pro Bowl-level play from Hamilton, and it says here they’ll get that this season.”
